German Lyrics

Ay-lyu-lyu-lyu
Ay-lyu-lyu-lyu
Shlof mayn tayerer un ru.
Voyl iz dem vos hot a mamen
Un a vigele dertsu

Ay-lyu-lyu-lyu
Ales kon men dokh gefinen
Ales krigt men dokh far gelt
Nor a mame zi iz eyne
Mer nisht eyne oyf der velt

Ay-lyu-lyu-lyu
Vi der tar zol zayn nisht groys
Tomid kon men im farvign
In der mames shtiln Shoys

Shlof mayn tayerer, mayn liber
makh do oygn tsu un ru
Voyl iz dem vos hot a mamen
Un a vigele dertsu
Ay-lyu-lyu-lyu

Once can find everything
once can buy everything
But a mother is unique in the world
Ay Lyu lyu lyu
As great as your pain can be
you'll always be able to confort yourself
on the chest of your mother

Sleep my darling, my love
close your eyes and rest
oh how good it is to have a mother
and a rocking cradle to
